Update:
Well, here's Dish Spin! (Video via Perfectly-Nintendo)
Original Article:
Nintendo released trailers for 18 of the mini-games featured in 1-2-Switch yesterday, and stated that 10 more were still to be fully revealed. However, on the official Japanese site there are single screens for each of these games, which of course means we can speculate wildly about what's still to come.
As you can see from the screengrab shown above, Baseball, Boxing, Plate-spinning, Semaphore, Dancing, Meditation and Air Guitar all seem pretty obvious, but what's the deal with that gorilla, and what could the treasure chest possibly allude to? There also appears to be another quick-draw shooting game, set at dusk.
Let us know what your predictions are based on these images by posting a comment below. 1-2-Switch launches alongside the Switch on March 3rd.

I have an idea for a mini-game that would require you to close your hand and move it back and forth. But I doubt Nintendo would ever do something like... Oh, my bad. Milking a cow is already part of the game.
Can't Be bothered guessing. They should make a mini game for it where you throw this in a trash bin
I guess gorilla game is about peeling a joy-con and eating it pretending it's a banana... or hitting your chest repeatedly. Honestly, after seeing "Baby", I don't think Nintendo can surprise me anymore
Ok, so I skipped the bit that mentioned the images and went straight to my predictions for the remaining ten games, based solely on the others we've already seen:
'Scrape your nails down a blackboard' - about as fun as putting a crying baby to sleep.
'Sit on a thistle' - you sit down on the thumbstick of the joy con and then have to jump straight back up again as if you'd just sat on a thistle - whoever's cheeks maintained longest contact with the thistle loses.
'Lego Tread' - This is where you take your shoes off and stand on the joy con. The HD Rumble simulates the pain of standing on some pieces of lego and you have to guess how many.
'Open a jam jar that's really triple hard to open' - Because twisting the joy con is just so much fun.
'Constipation' - make constipation faces at the IR sensor. After eating all those bread rolls in the eating contest game, you're gonna be bunged up for weeks.
'Finger Puppets' - You hold the joy con in one hand and point it at your other hand. With your free hand you have to make shapes with your fingers corresponding to the number you're told by the game. The game will be limited to just 3, 4 and 5 finger shapes, as all single finger and two finger possibilities will be banned to control the risk of rude gestures.
'Joy Con Justification' - This is where you stare really hard at the IR sensor while the Joy Con vibrates and telepathically communicate the reason Nintendo put expensive HD Rumble in the Switch without any worthy games to justify the decision.
'Empty your wallet ' - you shake the joy con as if you're trying to get the last of your money out of your wallet to give to Nintendo.
'Find the missing launch games' - this is where you hold the joy con like a torch and pretend to search the whole world for wherever Nintendo have hidden the proper Switch launch games.
'Try and get 1,2 Switch back in a sealed wrapper' - You hold the joy con like a roll of sticky tape and wrap it round the case for 1, 2 Switch so you can return it to the store and get your money back before anyone realises.
Puke-haunt-us, because the game is puke and that video from yesterday is still haunting us?
Yep everyone is loving this game (sarcasm)
I honestly cant wait to try this game. As stupid as it looks i think itll be the only game to really show off the joy con. And i miss time crisis style games so quick draw will have to do.
Lets not bother
Cheating a bit, but Nintendo just posted an image on Twitter about the Joy-Con, and it says about how in 1-2 Switch you can guess how many balls and ice cubes are inside...
I could be wrong but so far, I thought the ice cubes was just part of the presentation, were they already confirmed as part of the mini game? I thought it was just the balls.
This is the official list, leaked from my brain
1. Metroid Prime 4
2. Bayonetta 3
3. F-Zero Electric Boogaloo
4. Zelda: 2 Breath 2 Wild
5. Netflix
6. Microsoft Office
7. Battlefield One
8. Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare
9. GTA V
10. Kitty Scratch
@Moon Balls AND ice-cubes!?!?!11?!
Are you kidding me!?!?
This bizzle is off the scale...
@Pinkman "I think itll be the only game to really show off the joy con"
...and thus, Nintendo, your failure is complete.
@gcunit mental, init? day 1 purchase confirmed
These videos continue to chill me to my core.
1-2-3 switch sequel will be perfect to implement these ideas
The gorilla game you just sit around scratching yourself. The treasure game is an idol swap on a pressure plate like in Indiana Jones.
This game looks terrible. I have pre ordered it. I am an idiot.
It's obvious that the gorilla is going to feature in a derivative of the milking game, 'cos who doesn't want to milk a gorilla.
I just wait for remaining mini games.
I'm ready to be crazy in mini games.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
I was impressed by Eating Burger mini games, Baby mini games and Wizard mini games. I wanna try those mini games. It was not bad at all. Me, myself has different taste of gaming. My taste is also Quirky and Crazy games like 1 2 Switch. Maybe most people feel disgust but not for me. Yeah.... because I am different.
i think the treasure chest lets you guess what treasure you plucked out of it. the gorilla is probably a chest-beating game, like tarzan.
Internet commenter damage control.
More cringe from this memetastic game. You now only have to guess the remaining 9 mini piles of vomit.
1-2-Switch (Switch) - Dish Spin

Hey, we're talking about it...
Honestly, this ridiculously silly game will give Nintendo way more exposure than NintendoLand ever did (even though the game was decent).
@Mellor2000 good man! Get the beers in, I'm coming round
@SLIGEACH_EIRE
Dish Spin was cool actually. Silly as Clown and was entertaining me. I have to spin my Joy Con, pretend I spin my plate with stick, try to keep its balance and don't fall or you lose. Thanks for the video. Maybe you felt disgust but I am not. Instead, I was entertained. Yeah, once again.... I am different.
Is the gorilla mini game a harambe mini game where the winner is the one who catches the child the quickest.
@Anti-Matter Be sure to let us know how much the plate spinning i still entertaining you 1 week after you play it for the first time. I hope you will enjoy as you say, though I suspect the entertainment value may tail off p.d.q.
@Anti-Matter the beauty of games. There's something for everyone.
@SLIGEACH_EIRE lol
Why does it feel like I can play all these mini games with out a switch
I'm gunna go out on a wild limb and guess one of the minigames is called "Refund".
Don't care! This is for casual gamers!
My votes for the remaining games are, in order:
1: Find the Amiibo. A 12 city treasure hunt to find That One Amiibo that was sold out in under 48 seconds at the Toys R Us.com exclusive launch. (Requires Pokemon Go Plus accessory and an Android or iOS Smart Device equipped with GPS. Starting in Fall 2017, and online subscription will be required.)
2: Super Waggleland. It's the original Super Mario Bros. in period accurate 8-bit pixel art, but now, through the power of Joycons, you move Mario entirely with furious waggling!
3: WiiU Party. Using motion controls, and HD rumble, your Joycon simulates the feeling of shoveling real dirt. Race your partner while looking at their Mii in the eye(s), to see who can dig an early grave for the WiiU the quickest!
As much as I like the tech (yeah, I really do, I think tricking the brain is fascinating), I can't see this having longevity.
It looks more like a tech demo to encourage developers to explore how they could implement the HD rumble.
@gcunit
I feel bad for enjoying your comment but it was great . I'm not down on the switch at all, but that was hilarious.
One game has to be drinking game. You look at the other player and explain why 1-2 Switch is worth full retail. If you say HD rumble, you do a shot, if you say "new way to play" you do a double.
Person that is least drunk wins.
@Moon they haven't actually confirmed the ice cube thing for 1-2 Switch yet!
@gcunit Is it wrong that "Finger Puppets" actually sounds like a very serious possibility for inclusion?
@Rumncoke25 Cheers bud, that's very nice of you to post that, but really it's Nintendo we should be thanking - this stuff is comedy gold.
@NEStalgia Yes, it is wrong. Very wrong. I wouldn't wish these games at the party of my sworn enemy, let alone consider paying £30 for them.
You know, when Nintendo initially just showed 6 of these mini games, I insisted that they had to show us more to get us interested. But I was wrong. They should have left it at that and left is hoping for better in the withheld games. Now they've taken that hope away from us too, leaving only despair.
@Claytonbob I think the Gorilla game has something to do with the Baby game.
mini game number 10; they send the team that made this game to your door so that you can slap them one by one (with a joy-con)
@manu0 didn't think they had!
WOW!! I would never have guessed that some of you have such a wicked sense of humour.
Sometimes you gotta laugh at what you like. I love Nintendo as a company but sometimes I do have a good laugh at their expense.
It's obvious the Gorilla game is D****s Out For Harambe. That meme is still relevant, right? Anyway, I'm sure you can figure out the rest from there!
... I'm gonna get in trouble for posting this, aren't I?
